What topics do you want for the Neuroendocrine Support Group?

I would be helpful if someone could provide some basic navigation skills on how to understand our CT /MRI scans. The report shows a specific frame of reference, but accessing the scans in question is confusing . Just an idea!

Thank you for the question. I understand what you mean about confusing results from MRI/CT. I have had some confusion myself so this sounds like a good topic. I wonder if we could also add in understanding your biopsy results?

Hello @124124eva and welcome to Mayo Connect~
You have asked a very good question regarding understanding the MRI/CT scan results. In order to advocate for your own health needs, you do need to understand what is going on. You ask about "some basic navigation skills on how to understand our CT /MRI scans." Are you wondering about the language used in the CT/MRI results or more about the dimensions of any tumor, etc.?
Many times, I've sat down with my doctor or his PA and asked these questions. Sometimes, I've even charted the differences I've seen from one year to another and questioned what the differences mean. Most doctors are very willing to sit down with you (or one of their skilled staff members) and explain this to you.
I look forward to hearing from you again with some more details about what it is you are trying to understand. Once again, welcome to Connect and thank you for this very interesting question!
